  • not bad at all Elfen - I've usually finished by now other than main present for OH. I still have my Mum to buy for and my youngest sister and niece (and main present for OH!). However my sis and niece are now in Canada and have set up wish lists on Amazon so they will be easy to sort and they will be posted directly to them.

    I do it all because I'm scared.
  • Am clearing out the cupboards.

    The amount of out of date food is amazing!

    I am going to have to recycle all the bloody tins and jars as well! GGRRRRRRRR

    I REALLY wish I hadn't started, the fridge was bad enough.

    I think Sally might be right LInda - I've never lost any toenails!!!

    And Buffy - I've only had chaffing once and that was during the marathon - that what vaseline is for :D (Shame it was on my boobs though :eek:)

    So it really isnt as bad as it sounds most of the time...

    Afternoon everyone

    Wayne has gone to get the milk monster up and give her her milk whilstI continue mooching around! I've TONS to do but really can't be arrissed today.

    ok, here's a promise for next week: I'm going to
    1) do two loads of washing and dry it on airers overnight before tipping it in the tumble drier to finish off.
    2) dust and vacuum the attic bedrooms
    3) dust and vacuum the first floor bedrooms
    4) dust and vacuum the landing
    5) dust and vacuum the living room
    6) blitz the kitchen (and kitchen floor)
    7) tackle the mountain of ironing
    8) sort Evie's clothes out and get the 6-9 month clothes ready for her and put the 3-6 month ones away (she's only 7 1/2 months so I really ought to do it soon!
    9) sort out a couple of boxes that are stored (dumped) in the garage!

    I reckon if I get all that done, then I'll feel like I've achieved something.

    Cat.x
    ps - off to get a clothes airer, but a la Arnie... I'll be back
